@aeiouthefirst You guys know about the trace system right? The early good gear glut is gonna fade with time. Go spend it.

without ranked or cryo, i'm super bored playing marathon icl, loot is way too easy to get and i think i'm just honestly bored. I don't know if it's burnout or something, but it just doesn't feel the same and icl i dont think it ever will 😭

@HaertScar @mcquack306 I find it really immersive. Really scratches that survivalist "me against the world" itch playing solo, while crews is just fun PvP.

@mcquack306 Just killed my first runner. The game is actually very decent and i'm loving the athmosphere. It feels different when you play it versus watching. Hard to explain

After about an hour of Marathon and getting past the tutorial, completing my first faction objective to level up, died once in a run and successfully extracted in another, I get the excitement of going back for another run… I love the artstyle and gameplay so far.

@mauinthe918 @Hollowtide bro has NOT seen the new thief skin

@Hollowtide Looks mid, like all the skins so far. Ps exclusive is the only one that looks like they had real people create it, and not just switch up color ways lol

destroyer season pass skin

@LordQKumber @MarathonDevTeam they do. they refund it in the mail. might be bugged too though.

@MarathonDevTeam Yall NEED to let players who get DC'd keep their gear!!! It was annoying at Destiny launches, but is game-breaking when you permanently lose everything!!

We're aware and tracking an increase in Weasel and Anteater error codes. We'll provide updates as they come in. Thank you for your reports!

@MarathonDevTeam can you guys not shoot yourselves in the foot once in your goddamn lives

@esperavt @Anaproject_ agreed. should feel like a bullet hose.

@Anaproject_ i think copperhead needs a small rate of fire buff, not more range tbh! i think for a light ammo churner that's literally descripted as being an "extremely high ROF" gun, it can't shoot out enough bullets to beat out something like the bully.

my *PERSONAL* take on the state of guns in marathon currently imo, a lot of guns at the bottom need a little touch of power to make them more usable and to prevent a gun meta funnel like we've been seeing

@LemonadeUpgrade @ScottFree__ It is what makes the game unique. They SHOULD lean into it. Also maybe don't complain about an intentionally labyrinthine map being confusing on day one lol. Stopped reading right there.

@ScottFree__ I hate comments like this. I'm not saying raid content shouldn't exist but I hope bungie doesn't lean in on this being the big thing to grow the game. They literally marketed it that way and told reviewers to hold if because of it. Which is my concern

Not enjoying it. It's just convoluted. If you're into it great but I don't see casuals sticking with it. If this is the type of content coming then unfortunately I don't see how bungie "grows" the playerbase from where we are at.

@spaquetti_ @TheSnazzzyRock i think it'll get much less farmable as more people start to reach the boss criteria

@TheSnazzzyRock yeah idk how i feel about the compiler being farmable, it should be like the lighthouse in trials, u get ur visit once a week, i just feel this is going to create an absolute canyon between the casual, mid level and top end players. most casuals will never see a compiler.

WE ARE SO LOCKED!!!! 3 COMPILER KILLS WOOOOO WERE FARMING

@solgob_ @innnspace Oh far better lol. Not really fair considering the two studios in play, and props to EFT for pioneering the genre, but Marathon's PvP feels like crack in comparison, at least with buds.

@innnspace That would be nice. It’s better than EFT in my opinion

Marathon from the viewpoint of a competitive-spirited gamer that is older: Marathon is a very good game. I don’t consider myself a “sweat” these days but I have competed in shooters at a high level my entire life, always reaching the top ranks in games like Halo, StarCraft, Warcraft 3, CS, League of Legends and Apex. As well as attending LAN tournies in a few of those games. (Also currently loving Deadlock) I would have been absolutely in love with Marathon as a young fellow with more time to spare, as some of you probably are. I’m 35 now, on top of all of my responsibilities, I have like two hours a day on average to play video games. Some days, zero. And the following point is why Marathon will never be huge and might actually suffer greatly and ween off. Which genuinely makes me sad. It is simply too time consuming and unforgiving. I can’t even imagine trying to play this game as someone who isn’t inherently talented at shooters but still plays them for fun. It’s probably so brutal that it simply isn’t worth your time. While Cryo Archive is SO sick, it is a perfect example of this. I guess I’m just worried that one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played is going to suffer from the thing that also makes it so cool. 😂 I would love to be wrong and for Marathon to go on and gain a larger playerbase and keep releasing badass content for years.

@MasonWhite_X @bocchithesock @2Calico this is just a lie lol the whole game is built around one good round turning your luck around

@bocchithesock @2Calico Problem is you have to be able to consistently do that to be successful in marathon. There are 6 teams in dire marsh.

Marathon is the ideal unemployment game. It intentionally and by design rewards the hardest grinders pouring their time into it like water to take advantage of other lesser players and treat them like bugs and this is all by design and I think it’s fantastic

@estaganda @mrgruntington 30 hours over 3 months is less than 3 hours a week. if you cant manage that sell your pc dude. or just dont comment on gaming since you obviously dont have time for it

@elouibo @mrgruntington Sounds miserable im good. The format is not for me (or anyone i know)

Seeing a lot of people calling Cyro a sweatfest???? bro that's what you signed up for when selecting Endgame content, expect to lose everything in your vault so you have the rest of the week to recover thats why its weekend-locked 🙏😭

@estaganda @mrgruntington no shit. everybody on earth has a life, buddy. this game isnt asking for 100 hours of dedicated work. you'll be able to do this run with some friends after like 30-40 hours by the end of the season.

@elouibo @mrgruntington what's more likely is i play other games and spend my time differently. im "complaining" that this level of inaccessibility wont be able to maintain a playerbase and suits are gonna axe it

@estaganda @mrgruntington you literally have three months to build up to it man what are we complaining about?

@mrgruntington yeaaa im watching a streamer try compiler and im just like ...im never gonna experience this it's a three stack of people who play like 12 hours a day with max loadouts and they still cant get it. what hope would i ever have

@MarathonTheGame I've defended the shit out of this game but locking both Cryo and Ranked on weekends is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

@SolarisSaber @KingRichard vandal's verticality can still be crazy clutch, destroyer can only dash horizontally. arm cannon can win fights too by pushing people out of position/cover.

@KingRichard Why play Vandal for “movement” when you got destroyer

The Most Insane Destroyer play OMFG

@buttaz024 @danhuilla he's saying he can't get 100,000 kills in a match lol

Marathon is so fucking dead bro I can't even hit a 100 thousand bomb there's not enough players to fill a lobby🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@Fuzzygoat @isolatedrook i think the bulbous design is thematic. we associate roundness with organic shapes generally, so artificial materials trying to recreate that organic structure fits the game's themes.

Bulbous, inflated, overly rounded. That’s not so much a flaw as a design choice, but personally I’d have leaned toward something more geometric. It is however a matter of taste more than anything, and on that basis I think Thief is personally the strongest design. It’s also worth noting too that new shells with varying design aesthetics will almost certainly arrive in future seasons.

After finally getting to try her out for a bit, how are we feeling about Thief?

@DriftBounded @poellll the whole extraction premise is built into the story and shit. if they changed it it wouldn't be marathon 2026

@poellll god i want single player so bad... fucking extraction... what waaaaaste of a great world and lore...

@Caaandor @MarathonTheGame Awesome stuff. I keep looking for the Compiler's profile in cryo's red mist lol

beauty exists on tau ceti, but only because i'm still here to see it. #MarathonTheGame #MarathonCreator @MarathonTheGame

@HappyVideogamer @MarathonTheGame no shit lol

@MarathonTheGame The trailer is good but the model in actually game stink the trailer they look better in it than the game

In death we’ve just begun. Watch the Marathon Launch Cinematic featuring Poppy and Son Lux. Marathon releases March 5. youtu.be/vtw5BDpKgJM
